A bone charger and its sartuk rider charging through a forest to bear down on two unfortunate raskahn foot soldiers who’d been separated from the rest of their unit.
There’s a war brewing right now on Aeris, and this is more or less a speed paint snapshot from a dream I had the other night. It was like watching something straight out of a classic samurai movie, honestly.

A quick speed paint from last Thursday before I went on a crazy awesome full weekend adventure across the state to visit the best peeps ever, one of whom was =Shadowmanic !
It was the best weekend ever. Of all time.

That is so cool, I want to see the creature more clearly. Looks like it has horse-like legs, pterosaur-like wings and a ceratopsian-like head?

I don't know how you've done it, but the trees seem to have a slight 3D look, to the right edges are a teal, and to the left, a red. I've seen it before but I don't understand how in the world it's done. It's such an awesome effect

Skysealer In reply to Crazy-Dragon [2012-05-09 17:21:15 +0000 UTC]

It's a really simple technique! You can select an area or select the entire image -> go to your layers palette -> click Channels -> click the Red layer -> move the layer slightly to the right or left. C:

Powerful, even for a speedpaint I get chills and it's very potent. AWESOME! Should have told me everyone was driving across state, I totally would have joined in on the fun!

Badass.

Red really adds a sinister feel to it and its really feels like an old Japanese movie with the black and white background.
